Watch this video to learn more about how the Team Settings work or follow the steps below to set up your team.

The default Team Settings works well for most teams; however, if you have specific changes you'd like to make for the people in your team, make those changes in the Settings.

To access the Team Settings, go to the Service Type where the team should exist and select the gear next to Teams.

View all the teams listed in the Service Type and select a team to be taken to its team page.

If you want to manage the Background Check requirements from the Service Type level, select one of the required options from the dropdown. However, you can leave it up to Teams to choose the Secure Team type manually..

Last Used Anywhere shows the last time the person was scheduled for any plans in the account

Last Used in this Folder shows the last time the person was scheduled to any plan in the folder

Last Used in the Service Type shows the last time the person was scheduled to any plan in this Service Type

Last Used in this Team shows the last time the person was scheduled on this team

Last Used in this Position shows the last time the person was scheduled to this particular position

Use the envelope to email all members in the selected teams or the print button to create a people report.

Reorder the teams as they show in the plan by using the handles.

Select Add Team to add or copy another team to this Service Type.

Sort the teams based on any of the columns like name, type, members, schedule, or creation, and add/remove some of the columns by selecting the column icon dropdown.

When you select or add a team, you'll be taken to the Teams Page, which holds Team Settings and Members. The Team Settings defaults are set to be used for any team, but you can manage them according to your preferences for your team.

Each member has a response to being scheduled, and that response is received by someone.

When you schedule new people in this team, they have a certain status by default. If you already know people will be there, set this status to Confirmed; if you want them to be able to confirm or decline themselves, set the status to Unconfirmed.

When you finish with a plan, you send out a prepared notification email notifying all who are scheduled. If you want people to know they're scheduled for a plan without receiving an email, uncheck the box.

Once you set Teams Leaders for your team, they can be set as the Replies To person, the one who receive emails about people's status. You can also set this person to be the Current Scheduler, the person who placed them on the schedule from a Template or a Plan, or All Team Leaders listed in the Team Leaders tab, depending on who you'd like to receive replies.

Team Leaders have their own defaults about what emails they receive; however, when Current Scheduler is chosen, choose what replies they will receive.

Last Used Anywhere shows the last time the person was scheduled for any plans in the account

Last Used in [Folder Name] shows the last time the person was scheduled to any plan in the folder

Last Used in the Service Type shows the last time the person was scheduled to any plan in this Service Type

Last Used in this Team shows the last time the person was scheduled on this team

Last Used in this Position shows the last time the person was scheduled to this particular position

Although each user has a permission, each Team can set limits to Scheduled Viewers within a team, allowing them to see the Full Plan, Song List, or Schedule Only. When set to Schedule Only, they can only get to the dashboard and cannot view the plan.

If you want this team to be included in your stage layouts, choose to show the Name, Small Name, or Initials to be shown on the layout then choose the color of the team.

If you want people to sign up for positions but don't want to have to enable signup sheets manually for every plan, check the box to enable it by default.If you enable signups but don't already have a default "Replies To" person for this team, you will be set. This ensures that if people sign up and then later need to decline, someone is notified about it.

The Last Scheduled Date that appears on the People Page, the People Sidebar, and the Matrix will reflect the last time the person was scheduled for any Service Type in the account.

Users with the Viewer permissions may not have access to all people or teams, determined by the Services Settings. However, all Viewers can view My Teams, teams where they are leaders or members.

Add Related Teams to this team, so viewers can also see Related Teams within their My Teams view.

Select Add Team to see a list of teams within the Service Type. Choose a team from the list to add as a Related Team.

View All Teams

Once you've set the information in each team, you can see most of that information on the Teams tab within the main People page to help you manage all the Teams within your account.

Choose which Teams you want to see. By default, it shows you My Teams, which are Teams in which you are a Team Leader or assigned to a position as well as their related teams. You can change this to see Teams within other Service Types, Folders, or the entire account.

Potential errors in a Team's setup are shown with a red warning logo and appear when a Team has 0 Members, 0 Positions, or has never been scheduled. The warning will be highlighted in red; click the red warning to reveal information about the error and how to fix it.

Select any column header to sort the list by that column.

Select any Team name or Service Type to go to a page where you can edit the Team.
